Add light contrast, texture, and modern character to your next project with White Wenge.
Often referred to as Lati, White Wenge offers the bold grain presence of traditional Wenge in a lighter, more versatile palette. Its pale straw to light golden tones paired with subtle darker streaking create a clean yet expressive look that works beautifully in contemporary designs.
Ideal for furniture, cabinetry, accent panels, shelving, and mixed species projects, White Wenge delivers visual interest without overpowering a space.
